IGTCDCN chapter 11

Sure enough, right after she meowed, Chief Assistant Liu had already found its location following the sound.

“Whose cat is this?”

Assistant Lin wanted to explain: “This is …….”

As a senior executive who oversees both internal and external affairs, Assistant Liu exudes an aura no less than General Manager Tan. He immediately frowned: “Is it yours?”

“No, it’s ……”

Assistant Manager Liu was busy and annoyed, and at the moment she had no time to argue with Assistant Lin.

“No matter whose cat it is, it can’t be brought into the company. President Tan’s office is right next door. If the cat runs around and gets in the way, nobody would be able to escape the consequences!”

“Whoever’s cat it is, take care of it first and then come back!”

As expected of a decisive woman in a big company, her words left everyone silent.

Assistant Lin nervously stepped forward and explained, “Chief Assistant, this is the boss’s cat. It wouldn’t let me leave, so I ended up bringing it to the office.”

The boss’s cat?

Chief Assistant Liu was momentarily taken aback and immediately remembered that earlier Mr. Tan had asked her to switch to a life assistant familiar with pets.

So it was because Mr. Tan suddenly got a cat?

She carefully looked at the cat crouching on the desk. It was indeed pretty cute, and judging by the way it carried itself like it ruled the world, it really did seem like Mr. Tan’s pet.

“Did you tell the boss?”

“…Not yet.”

Assistant Manager Liu glanced at him, feeling that he had not handled this matter well. “You brought it to the company without saying anything. What if the boss disagrees?”

While everyone was still entangled here, Su Jiujiu, as the center of the conflict, had long slipped out of everyone’s sight.

She trotted along on her short legs and quickly reached the CEO’s office. Good, the door wasn’t closed tightly.

After squeezing into the office, she immediately spotted Tan Chen sitting behind the floor-to-ceiling window.

Su Jiujiu’s eyes lit up, and she sneaked over, her paws landing silently on the carpet.

Meow! Here comes your little sweetheart!

She slipped under the desk, and from her low, limited vantage point, she could only see a pair of long legs wrapped in suit pants.

Sigh, the male lead’s legs are really nice.

The little flirtatious cat stretched out its paws and climbed up along his long legs. By the time Tan Chen noticed, she was already sitting firmly on his lap, rubbing his abs with her head through his clothes.

Fortunately, she wasn’t human; otherwise, given this series of actions, anyone would have said, “You’re quite flirtatious!”

After just a few hours, Tan Chen’s gaze fell on Su Jiujiu, and he was unusually stunned.

Is this cat really from his home?

Or some similar breed?

“Dudu?”

He tentatively called out.

Su Jiujiu heard a hint of hesitation in his tone and immediately sensitively caught his perfunctory attitude!

She angrily stretched out her cat paw and gave a hard smack on his stomach… like tickling.

Seeing such a human-like reaction, Tan Chen immediately confirmed that this was the cat he had just adopted.

He seized Su Jiujiu’s outstretched paw in response: “What are you doing here?”

After asking, he was stunned for a moment. Why would a cat be in the office?

It was obvious without thinking that Assistant Lin must have brought it over, yet he had actually just asked such an obvious question to a cat.

Could it be that once you raise a cat, you unconsciously develop the habit of talking to it?

He looked at the proud silver-white cat in front of him. When he found it at noon, it was still timid and cautious; as soon as it learned it would be staying, it immediately returned to its usual self.

Like a person, it instinctively climbs up the pole.

A faint smile flickered in Tan Chen’s eyes, but his face remained cold: “The company doesn’t allow pets, and I’m no exception. Do I have to kick you out, or will you leave on your own?”

Su Jiujiu: ???

She widened her cat-like eyes in disbelief, never expecting him to be so cold toward her!

Just this afternoon he was still calling her ‘little sweetheart,’ and now he’s become so distant. Hmph! Men!

Tan Chen looked at those big, round cat eyes and suddenly realized the fun of teasing a cat. He squeezed the cat paw in his hand, his tone completely unchanged: “Don’t blink at me and act cute, I’m not going to give you any backdoor favors.”

Blink and act cute?

She was clearly glaring in anger!

Su Jiujiu lunged forward, biting Tan Chen’s finger. Before she could bite down hard, a low threatening voice came from above her head.

“If you dare bite down, I’ll throw you out of the company right now.”

Cruel!

Too cruel!

Su Jiujiu’s eyes were filled with hot tears as she silently pulled her fingers out of her mouth. Before she could completely withdraw, the finger that remained outside brushed against her stuck-out tongue.

Tan Chen, expressionless, played with the little tongue the cat had poked out. When it tried to retract, he used his eyes to threaten her not to move.

Su Jiujiu stiffened her body, sticking out her tongue and letting him tease her, while her heart, which had tried to climb on the male lead’s head and lord over him, was completely crushed.

She had thought that after being adopted by the male lead, she could become the unquestioned cat master of the house…

but she didn’t expect that the male lead is still the male lead— even if he soft-heartedly took her in, he wouldn’t pamper her too much.

Tan Chen: “Keep doing what you were just doing, are you going out on your own or should I throw you out?”

Su Jiujiu didn’t want to choose any of the wine. She stretched out her cat paw and hugged his wrist, trying to act cute to make him change his mind.

Tan Chen remained unmoved.

Su Jiujiu had no choice but to climb up along his clothes, reaching his shoulders, and rubbed her furry cat face against the side of his face.

“Meow~” Stay, please let me stay!

After rubbing for a long time with no reaction, Su Jiujiu’s mischievous side came out. She pressed her cat paw against Tan Chen’s face and gave a firm peck on his cheek.

Poor male lead, who remained chaste for the heroine, gave his first kiss on the face to a cat.

Tan Chen was also surprised. Looking at the cat’s face, magnified several times, he could surprisingly see a trace of guilt in its eyes.

No wonder so many people like to keep cats; even though this cat is mischievous and likes to act arrogantly, it still brings joy.

“Seeing how obedient you are…” he paused, “I won’t drive you away for now, but since you’re already at the company, we don’t support freeloaders, and that includes cats.”

Su Jiujiu had a bad feeling.

Tan Chen grabbed her two cat paws and raised his eyebrows, saying, “If I were to give you a workstation, could your two paws type on the keyboard?”

Su Jiujiu could actually type, but she glanced at her cat paws and thought that with their size, accurately pressing the 26 keys of the English alphabet would be quite difficult.

“It seems you won’t be typing after all,” he said.

“Think about it, you aren’t much use anyway. Why not just work at the front desk as a lucky cat?”

Su Jiujiu: “Meow?”

She tried to struggle, tried to resist, tried to show her unwillingness.

But all of that was suppressed by Tan Chen, who even personally took her down to the first floor of the building.

The receptionist almost thought the boss had come to question her for letting a pet into the company when she saw the CEO and the cat appear at the same time.

“President Tan, I…”

Tan Chen just lifted the cat onto the desk: “Let it act as the company’s lucky cat for half a day. Make sure it doesn’t run around, it can leave when I leave.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the silver-white cat on the table, looking dejected. The cat was crouching at the front desk, head and ears drooping, looking pitiful… Of course, if you didn’t ignore the way it sneakily glanced over, it’d be even more convincing.

“Stay put.” Then, he turned and left… just like that?!

Su Jiujiu suddenly lifted her head, staring at the gradually disappearing figure in disbelief, leaving her alone to exchange glances with the front desk girl.

….. Tan Chen didn’t really just ignore the cat. After returning to his office, he pulled up the front desk surveillance on his computer, keeping an eye on the cat in real time.

At first, everything was fine, but once he wrapped up the task he was working on, he noticed the cat, which had looked so downcast not long ago, was now cockily crouching on the table, an iPad playing a video set up in front of it, and it was staring at it without blinking.

Tan Chen zoomed in on the surveillance feed and realized that the iPad was playing a somewhat questionable cat video!

You can see it staring intently even through the screen—did he raise a horny cat?
